4 Day Morocco Travel Package From Marrakech - Roundtrip
This 4-day private desert tour is a round trip from Marrakech to the Sahara, taking a different road out and back so you never repeat the same views.
You cross the High Atlas on the Tizi n’Tichka pass to Aït Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate. Day two follows the palm groves of the Draa Valley and the kasbah village of Nkob to Merzouga, where you ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes and sleep in a luxury desert camp. After the sunrise you visit Rissani, the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley, and on day four you return via the Rose Valley and the Skoura oasis to Marrakech.
It is the best-balanced desert loop from Marrakech: enough time in the Sahara without the very long days of the 3-day tour.
Is this 4-day tour right for you?
- Best for: travelers based in Marrakech who want the Sahara and to come back to Marrakech.
- Pace: 5–7 hours of driving per day with frequent stops.
- Nights: 1 in Ouarzazate area + 1 in a luxury desert camp + 1 in the Dades Valley.
- Continuing to Fes? The 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes ends in Fes instead.
